Visited 2014 + 2015

Hidden in the forrest between Chernobyl and Pripyat lies this holiday camp. The Emerald holiday camp is where the children of Pripyat would spend their summer holidays. It was a quiet place to relax in the forrest along the cooling pond of the Power Plant, with clean air and beautiful scenery.

The camp has many wooden huts with bright colored murals showing cartoon characters. There was also an open-air movie theater and in the center a big metal water tower.
